Video: Jokic Puts Up Insane Wilt Chamberlain Line
He's the two-time NBA MVP, and at this time, who's to say he can't go for the three-peat. Nikola Jokic is putting up video-game-like numbers, and Sunday night he literally put up Wilt Chamberlain numbers. A stat line not seen since 1968:
Nikola Jokic put up historic numbers in the Nuggets win tonight.

With 40 points, 27 rebounds and 10 assists, Jokic is the first player to record 40+ PTS, 25+ REB, and 10+ AST in a game since the legendary Wilt, 54 years ago.
Even his peers had to marvel at what The Joker did in this game.

Jokic is ridiculous

Ja Morant called his numbers "crayo", Paul Pierce exclaimed "ridiculous."
On the season, Jokic is averaging close to a triple-double, with 25.2 points, 10.9 rebounds and 9.0 assists in 26 games. And with his Denver Nuggets currently holding the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference at 18–11, the possibility of a third straight MVP is... no Joke.
